In the second time in less than a week, a bear was captured in the D.C. area. Washington Humane Society animal control officers captured the young bear near 49th Street and Glenbrook Lane in Northwest.

Mei Xiang was inseminated early Saturday morning after it was determined natural breeding had not occurred with Tian Tian the night before. A baby panda was born to Tian Tian and Mei Xiang last summer at the zoo but it died six days later.

Mei Xiang was artificially inseminated twice in late April. Zoo officials warn that panda fetuses don't start developing until the final weeks of a pregnancy. An ultrasound can't yet determine if she's pregnant.
